Hi Zixi (Rosie) - glad you are okay. I noticed you said you could not understand why your host Dad was so keen to exert his authority...but I am not sure the facts support that.

IF he was so keen to exert his authority you would have been cutting a switch two days ago?

(1) He had your parents' approval. (2) He had reason enough. IF he had wanted to spank the 'rich and spoiled Chinese girl' ....then it makes no real sense for him to DECLINE to do that.

So, yes, I think it's partly just a vibe you are getting. As for being 'culturally aware' - he knows, you know, and I know, that would have been rude in a similar Chinese context. If his daughter was in China and she didn't give a slight bow to an elder, that is a lack of cultural awareness.

I would say the context of what is happening here is that he is trying to actually be fair and restrained while being mindful of the rules in place for his wife and daughter.
